Chapter 490
Auntie Li, standing nearby, quickly said, "Jiang Ming, I know you mean well, but there's no need to go to such a fancy place like the Hyatt Hotel just to welcome me. It's too expensive!"
Then she added, "Besides, food is food no matter where you eat it. Why not let me cook a nice meal for you all at the orphanage? That way, you kids can save a lot of money. You could use that money for something better than spending so much just to welcome me..."
Having lived frugally all her life, she had never been to such luxurious places. It was hard for her to imagine dining somewhere that cost thousands.
However, Jiang Ming smiled slightly and said, "Auntie Li, please don't say that. You raised us all those years, and now it's time for us to do something for you. Besides, I mentioned earlier that I'm not footing the bill alone. I'll cover half, and the rest will be split among everyone else!"
Seeing Auntie Li hesitate, he continued to persuade her, "Don't worry, Auntie. This meal won't cost much. Our company has a partnership with the Hyatt Hotel, so we get a discount. When it's all divided, it'll only be a few hundred per person!"
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
A few hundred per person was within most people's budget, and they felt much more at ease.
Moreover, they thought it was a great opportunity to experience the luxury of a five-star hotel at a relatively low cost.
At this point, Auntie Li was still a bit hesitant. Jiang Ming checked the time and said, "Auntie Li, it's already past six. If we don't hurry, we might not find a place."
What do you think?
